Gestion de flux en entreprise (in French only) shows how inadequate the classical approach for decision making is compared to modeling and simulating complex systems. Simulation enables you to accurately understand and experiment as well as rapidly test all the effects of any change in your business.
Very clear and concrete, the book is divided into three parts. In the first part, the authors present through numerous examples the most common industrial issues, and how to deal with them using simulation tools. The second part shows in a more technical way what modeling and simulation are, their underlying concepts and tools, and how it all works. Lastly, an operational guide details all the stages of a simulation project.
